Anthony ( and others with the same )
The first series of powerflights and torqueflights were very badly ( bearly )
cooled by the OEM heat exchanger that was inserted between the water outlet
and the radiator. That is why MoPar (and others too) went to the tank below
the radiator to cool the transmission. Later on for heavy duty usage they went
from the transmission to the cooling tank to a finned cooler that was attached
in front of the radiator and then returned to the transmission. What you may
have is the by passing of the original heat exchanger to a poorly installed /
attached low end after market finned cooler. Take a look at some OEM heavy
duty styles and then inform a metal guy that you want one just like that one.
